Brian and Shannon Rinaman decided to leave the city for the country — and in doing so, purchased a gorgeous farmhouse-style home. The house was already charming with lots of natural light, but it was in need of some updating. With a budget of $75K, Leanne and Steve renovated the first floor, finding a way to make an old house work for a young family.

A large portion of the righthand side of the kitchen used to be a powder room. By removing it, Leanne and Steve were able to create a bigger kitchen with more storage. The cabinets are shaker style and made from hickory, while the countertops are a gorgeous white marble.

Where the kitchen sink sits now was actually where the powder room sink once was! With the powder room out of the way, Leanne was able to move the kitchen sink in front of the window.

While demoing the kitchen, Leanne and Steve uncovered a gorgeous ceiling that they decided to leave exposed. A ceiling like this one is a great way to incorporate interest and texture into a space.
